Lacking an available pool of migrant labor, the United Stated has historically turned to another vulnerable group—incarcerated people.

The president doesn’t actually have the power to ban gender-affirming care for trans youth. So why has Children’s National “paused” certain forms of care?

The world’s richest man and its most powerful one have killed the one government agency that does the most to support the world’s most vulnerable people. There will be consequences.

The White House is effectively declaring war on federalism by claiming unconstitutional jurisdictional power—and daring the judiciary to stop it.

The president won’t clarify what his price for ending his idiotic trade war is. Maybe that’s because it’s something he dare not say out loud.

An unchecked, unelected oligarch is yanking wires out of the machinery that powers American life—and there’s no telling how many people will get hurt.

His funding freeze play was supposed to be part of a well-planned, shock-and-awe takeover. The slapdash result suggests that the minds behind MAGA 2.0 are still a slopcore mess.

The rhetoric in the president’s executive order claims that trans identity is a form of dishonesty and moral weakness. It’s setting the stage for further legal assaults.

The Democrats finally started to find their legs after Trump’s spending freeze. The key lesson? Making sheer political noise about something does make a difference.
